Great Expectations or Great Expectany?
I’ve been reviewing my goals and accomplishments of 2017 in my previous January posts; for this post I looked back through my year in photos and selected a favorite from each month. Aren’t digital photos fun? When I was growing up, our photos for the year were: family birthdays, kids in Easter clothes and Halloween costumes, and our clan at Thanksgiving with the turkey and again at Christmas with the tree. Now, we have plenty…..
